1. That's close in ratio the way it's going to be for the Conventions,

too! Sign of the Times, baby!

[PA Democrat]

2. I was at the Greensburg PA rally and I saw NOT ONE SINGLE

pro-bush sign, let alone an anti-Kerry sign.

The local news reported that there were several hundred protesters at the Bush rally in Pittsburgh. A group of people at the Kerry rally were leaving from there to go protest Bush. These folks were my age (mid 40's) and said they had never before protested anything in their lives.

3. I'm really sorry I missed it

I'd promised to do some work for a friend and couldn't back out. I hope you took up two places for me.

10. Middle agers and the youth protest together...It's wonderful!!

I've got goose bumps...this is as thrilling as the convention. Many people are posting pics and reports of rallys/protests from all over and I'm ecstatic!!

I wish I could be out there too. GOOD WORK ALL :hi:

4. Isn't it refreshing?

I mean, Kerry can have a party on people's FRONT PORCHES without trouble, but * has to have a screened audience and be driven away from the protestors.
America is changing.
I feel a fresh wind coming our way.
Is it... could it be.... HOPE!

11. Obama said 'A righteous wind' didn't he? I feel it too! Woot n/t

5. Hah!

CNN mentioned the anti-bush signs at Bush's speech.

FAUX reported on the extremely large crowds at Kerry's campaign stops.

Hmm, noticing a trend here?

7. NBC had an interesting report

They did a press on the bus report by timeline switching back and forth between the campaigns. Looked all positive for Kerry. With Bush they showed the protestors and even interviewed someone in the Bush crowd in Ohio who said several of his neighbors and friends who voted for Bush in 2000 said they were voting for Kerry. Also showed some little girl with a big pink sign that said something like "Bush where did my daddy's job go"?

8. "My grandpa lost his job, Bush should too"

If I recall correctly. :)

[RamboLiberal]

9. You got it - knew I should've written it down

That was a great sign!

6. Maybe we really HAVE turned a corner

Can't let up, though, and can't get complacent. Nice to hear, though.
